You love making up ****, because you hate the positive parts of his game that I recognize. You mr doom and gloom the world is falling and Ayton is horrible because I’m a Suns fan. No need for me to point out his flaws, you and his detractors point that out by the minute. I said he could bust; watch this AYTON COULD BUST AND MIGHT NOT BE THE BEST PLAYER IN THE DRAFT! There you go, take a picture trick! I never said Ayton was perfect, but I damn sure know he is good enough to be the first pick unlike you Mr. Wrong assessment. Let’s see who is correct come June 21. Me or you.

I choose to recognize his strengths and potential, you don’t, that’s on you Mr. Woe is me...pathetic ass fan.

Dude this is a Bamba thread. Stop making this about Ayton. There’s another Ayton thread for that.

And I said it on the day that the Suns won the lottery that I’m 100% sure that Ayton is the pick. Go check the lottery thread for those posts.

Nobody has hyped up Ayton more than you. Great. When he’s drafted by the Suns, I hope you’re right and he becomes great. Awesome. But again, stick all that to the Ayton thread right here:

JMac1, do I have to tell you that calling someone an idiot is against the rules? Really?

heh. Marvin Williams - 0.9 blocks per 40. JJJ- 5.5 blks per 40.

Marvin is a pretty good shot blocker for a SF and Marvin wasn't a risk based shot blocker. He mainly was a help side shot blocker and only when needed. That wasn't what he tried to do as a defender in college or the NBA.

JJJ EYBL stats show that these numbers maybe disingenuous and I believe it is. He got a lot of blocks the way I call Josh Smith/Theo Ratliff blocks when I watch the games. These are blocks where it's mostly weakside or contesting as much as possible due to a lack of strength which is shown in his Foul rate. These are harder in the NBA as offensive players are more adapt to avoid blocks while scoring and they are also more skilled and crafty and will go into your body to draw a foul. These types of shot blockers are dangerous for a personnel because you can't rely on their shot blocking skills. This is far from a Rudy Gobert or Bamba or Mutombo type of shot blocker. This is more of a Kenyon Martin type but worse as Martin was strong core wise and only went for weakside or helpside attempts. Martin was a sound post defender at PF and would bang and avoid risky shot block attempts which I've seen a lot of in JJJ's tape.

Image


Since when is a high foul rate an indicator of lack of strength? David Robinson PF/40 as a freshman: 8.72, Dikembe Mutombo as a freshman: 6.3, Joel Embiid: 8.5 and plenty of other examples of guys who turned out to be strong rim protectors who had foul issues in the early stages of their careers.

I'm not old enough to judge the Marvin Williams comparison, but the difference between a 1.4 BLK% and a 14.3 BLK% is rather gigantic. Not sure why it's a bad thing if a player blocks a lot coming from weakside help, isn't that what you want from a rim protecting center?
If anything Jaren Jackson might be the ideal type of rim protector in the NBA, long enough to contest shots, but also mobile to have value on the perimeter. Mohammed Bamba might struggle with the latter imo. Might be worth noting that Bamba is actually lighter than Jaren Jackson, regarding your comment on handling physicality of the NBA.

Jaren Jackson Jr is Marvin Williams redux. Please don't list him in a topic with any of these bigs. Bagley is the best player in this draft. Bamba has insane potential. Ayton has the athletic feat and the body of a warrior. Next Shaq. JJJ is uncoordinated, weak core strength and has poor body control. I've seen this story before. Do Not Want.


So Jackson sucks now? Seriously some weird takes on this board.

Is everyone on this board expecting Ayton, Bagley, Jackson and Bamba to be finished products their first year? Truth is they will all likely struggle at some point their rookie season and all have parts of their game that need work.

Embiid is not good example. Hes an anomaly and his gametape was superior in terms of ability. Not mention he had a growth spurt.

D rob and Deke didnt leave as freshman so mentioning it is highly foolish. Deke literally never played Basketball before Georgetown, Embiid was only in his 3rd year of basketball and D Rob literally was 5'11 just a season earlier. Foolish comparisons as Jaren been playing since early childhood.

Bamba has much more length and he jumps much higher. He also has a stronger upper body and base. His issue is his weak legs in contrast and his built is similar to Giannis as a rookie. He is just taller and longer. Not sure how that would work long term at center. Gobert is built similar to Tyson Chandler. I have my doubts on Bamba post defensive potential.

Marvin comparison is more so based on their similar body types, coordination, personal mindset, body control, core strength, mobility, run/jump prowess, etc. He plays like Theo Ratliff defensively.

JJJ wont suck but if you are expecting a franchise player, be prepared to be disappointed. High level role player is a clear projectable goal.

Pretty clearly going to Atlanta. Adding a Gobert-type with more upside is the fastest way to make a bad team good (if adding a superstar isn’t an option).

When say a guy is uncoordinated, weak core strength, and poor body control you’re insinuating that he sucks. Jackson doesn’t suck. Realistically he closer to a bigger version of Al Horford. Once he gets with an NBA trainer and nutritionist his body will improve. To say he’s uncoordinated and has no body control is false.

As for Bamba, I personally hope he’s still on the board at 5. He’d be a perfect rim runner to catch lobs from DSJ. He’s perfect for the Carlisle’s system. He’s doesn’t need to be and elite offensive center that can takes guys off the dribble. He needs to be able to catch lobs (and finish), rebound, and play great defense. If he can be a solid 3-pt shooter that would also be great but not the end all/be all.

Maybe learn how to spell his name before you take him #1 overall. Nah, I'm just messin'. Bamba has been in my Top 3 since the moment I saw him. [EDIT: not true. I saw him in HS. But since the first time I saw him at Texas, he's been in my Top 3.] I currently have Ayton at #6.

I still have Bamba at #3 behind Doncic and Bagley, but I am going to think hard about moving him up before the draft. His upside is better than Bagley's.

This is why it's hard to take RealGM seriously, in what world does he do ANYTHING like Al Horford? Anything!

I don't think his body has much potential for growth. I see 10-15 pounds at most. NBA trainers aren't Gods. Or everyone would be LeBron.

Dallas could use Porter, Ayton, Doncic, Bagley or Carter Jr. Bamba would be a coup for them

This guys agent deserves a raise. Him and Draftexpress have some sort of deal going on for sure. The hype he's been getting recently, from ESPN mainly, has been **** unreal and just doesn't feel right at all.
Givony/Draftexpress have a history of hyping their guys up and causing them to be picked way higher than they should be (especially Euros)

Those workout tapes are heavily edited. I've seen Deandre Bembry shoot lights out in his vids, and of course he's a terrible shooter in the league.

Bamba separates himself from the crowd with his overall intelligence which will make him more dangerous when his body catches up. Record length with actual bball skills... This draft is such a wildcard for high lotto teams.

Really? You don’t see the similarities in their game?

When I say that Jackson’s body will improve one he gets in an NBA weight program I’m not necessarily talking about just bulking up. I’m talking about strengthening his core. Similar to what Julius Randle did to his body.

Bamba I expect will put on muscle too once he gets into an NBA weight program. I think Bamba’s body type will end up being very similar to Dekembe (except longer).

None and I watch full games of each player. No fufu clips.

Body improvement is normal for most NBA player but he's near his physical peak. 10-12 pounds of muscle will help his transition to the 5 but it's not going to make him coordinated, have any body control. It will help with core strength but there is only so far he can go in that area.

Deke body type is much different, Deke type is like Ibaka. Skinny thick. He just never had the upper body of Serge.

While Bamba is like Giannis. Gangly, long, skinny legs with average sized calves, good shoulder width, good arm density, extremely long legs. Small but wide chest. Smaller than average torso for height. He can gain another 20-25 pounds. But legs and buttocks just aren't going to be JoJo like or Shaq. Not even D. Rob like. I question his post defensive potential.

Horford was more athletic than JJJ is now. I'd say JJJ is more like LaMarcus Aldridge body and athleticism, but with better defensive instincts and 3pt shooting from an earlier age. Very different style of players all 3.

We're in the hype phase right now. Bamba, Ayton, Bagley, Porter – all of them have articles written about, and videos shot of them that depict them as showcasing something crazy that we haven't seen before. Nobody should change their opinion one bit from edited footage or some praise on social media for obvious reasons but I guess that's what fans do when they're getting hyped before the draft.

Only one thing is for sure: there'll be a lot of disappointment about a bunch of these guys sooner rather than later. Happens every damn year, and it seems like nobody's learning from it. I don't mind it here in these forums because it's part of the draft process, but it's really unfair to the kids that get drafted who are confronted with completely unreasonable expectations. Although many of them are apparently fine with their agents (or the players themselves) hyping them up in order to get attention for the draft, so I'm not feeling too bad for some of them either.

Question, what are the main weaknesses of Bamba going forward? Lack of lower body strength? Motor? Questioning why he didn't dominate more in college? I think the biggest limiting factor for Bamba going forward is how badly does he want to hin. He has sky high potential but without the will and determination to reach it, it doesn't matter. Bamba neds to go to the right environment. He does not strike me as a generational talent that can be culture shifting, but under the right circumstances I can see him developing into a top 3 or 5 center.

Return to NBA Draft
